Lowe Injured, Ashcraft Hit Hard in 6-3 Loss To Braves

The Pirates dropped their second straight game in Atlanta, falling 6-3 to the Braves as Braxton Ashcraft was hit harder than we’ve seen in a while. Jim and Tyler break down Ashcraft’s outing, why the starting pitching has become a concern over the last couple weeks, and how the bullpen at least kept the Pirates within reach again. They also get into the offense’s chances against Spencer Strider, Tyler Callihan continuing to provide some useful at-bats, Oneil Cruz drawing three walks, Endy Rodriguez having a rough night, and Brandon Lowe leaving late after fouling a ball off his knee. The Pirates now turn to Bubba Chandler with a chance to salvage the series and finish the road trip at 3-3 before returning home to face the Dodgers.Subscribe to North Shore Nine for daily Pirates coverage, postgame shows, prospect talk, and more.
